Read our privacy policy Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds has said he is “not worried” about the potential effect of days of rioting on foreign investment in the UK as the Government seeks to secure economic growth. “Even getting back open has been a burden for them, and therefore probably not in a position at this stage to be able to assess the scale of the loss.” He said he is seeking to make insurers pay claims promptly and to make businesses aware that they might be able to access support under the Riot Compensation Act if they are not insured or not adequately covered by insurance. “If you care about these brilliant local businesses that are the heart of your community, please give them your support in the days and weeks ahead,” he said.
